Good Body Shop?

I want to install my nur spec spoiler. But the auto shop that painted my spoiler was too expensive. They charge $460 just to install and require me to drop off my car for 3 days. This car is my DD, I dont want to drop off my car and get a rental car.

The racers line at concord sounds good to me, got refer by one of our bro here.
He said They charge $90 an hour ,and used about 1.5hr to install.
But Concord is pretty far away, so i want to find a local body shop before choosing my last option. The racers line.

Any good body shop around San Jose, Milpitas, Cupertino, Fremont area?

Thanks

Honestly, The Racer's Line's quality alongside their hourly rate and turnaround time is worth the drive. Even driving and waiting there would be faster and cheaper than most shops around I'm sure.

Although i know there is alot of shops that can potentially do it for cheaper, i honestly trust the racers line the most, esp since he did install my wing and has the most knowledge atm on how to put it on. I had left my car and watched him work on Opal and i went to get food, by the time we finished eating the car was good to go!

Actually, I painted. autoalmosteverything at fremont is doing promotion right now.
250 to paint the spoiler.
Spoiler + paint + install = 400+250+120 = 770 total
Make sure the guy who install the spoiler for you know what they doing.

I dont know about the racers line, i called them, emailed them,,they didnt reply,,I am kinda upset. For elite performance,,I called and they let me squeeze into their busy schedule, they took about 1hr45 min to install and help me make sure the spoiler is ok before letting me get out of the shop. Also, they charged 100/hr, but they only charged me 120 for 1hr 45mins job. so i guess is not bad compare with racers line 90/hr.
